Ed Morrissey of HotAir writes at Corner NRO “The Continued Demise of Transparency”
“I seem to recall when Barack Obama promised the most open and transparent administration ever. Since his inauguration, Obama has fired one Inspector General (IG) for daring to oppose a sweetheart settlement with a political ally, allowed another to get dumped by the agency that she oversaw and now, has publicly fueded with Barofsky.
Earlier they tried to limit his authority by claiming that Barofsky did not work independently of Treasury, which got a stern letter from Sen. Charles Grassley.
It looks like the White House has declared war on transparency and especially the IG’s, who exist to provide it.
